Cosmetic surgery continues to evolve to offer better results, fewer risks, and faster recovery. One of the most notable innovations in breast surgery is Galaflex Mesh, a breakthrough that is transforming how breast augmentation and lift procedures are performed. Below, we explain what it is, how it works, and why it is changing the landscape of plastic surgery.
Galaflex Mesh is a bioabsorbable surgical mesh specifically designed to support soft tissues during breast surgery procedures. It is made from a material called poliglecaprone-25, a safe polymer that has been used in surgical sutures for decades.
Unlike permanent support methods, Galaflex Mesh integrates into the body and is gradually absorbed over approximately 18 to 24 months. During this time, it promotes the growth of strong new tissue, providing natural internal support that enhances aesthetic results and the longevity of the procedure.
Breast surgery with Galaflex Mesh is primarily used in procedures such as:
During surgery, the plastic surgeon strategically places the mesh beneath or around the implant to reinforce the patient’s natural tissue. This helps maintain the implants in the desired position, reduces skin tension, and prevents common complications such as ptosis (breast sagging) or implant displacement over time.
This technique is also ideal for patients with weaker tissue, those who have experienced changes after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, and want more long-lasting results.
1. Increased support and stability
Galaflex Mesh acts as an "invisible internal structure" that reinforces the base of the breast. This allows breast tissue and implants to maintain shape and position much better than relying solely on skin.
2. Longer-lasting results
With the additional support provided, results tend to last longer. The risk of premature sagging or implant displacement is minimized, reducing the need for future revision surgeries.
3. Reduced complications
Using Galaflex Mesh decreases the risk of complications such as capsular contracture (abnormal hardening of scar tissue around the implant) and implant malposition. This translates to a safer, more predictable surgery.
4. Natural absorption
One of the major advantages of Galaflex Mesh is that it is naturally absorbed by the body. No permanent foreign material remains, reducing long-term risk of infection or adverse reactions.
5. Improved recovery
Although each patient is different, many women experience a more comfortable and faster recovery when Galaflex Mesh is used, as it provides immediate support that reduces tension on sutures and tissues.
Traditionally, breast surgery outcomes depended on the surgeon’s skill and the patient’s natural tissue quality. However, factors such as gravity, hormonal changes, and aging can compromise results over time.
The introduction of Galaflex Mesh has changed the game, offering surgeons an effective tool to improve the internal structure of the breast and, consequently, the quality of aesthetic results. Its ability to integrate into the body and be replaced by the patient’s own tissue makes it a more natural and safer option than permanent synthetic meshes.
Breast surgery with Galaflex Mesh is an excellent option for:
A personalized consultation with a certified plastic surgeon is essential to determine if this technique is appropriate for each individual case.
Galaflex Mesh represents a significant advancement in breast surgery, providing internal structural support that improves both immediate results and long-term durability. If you are considering breast augmentation or a lift and want to explore the most innovative options for natural, lasting, and safe results, consult your surgeon about incorporating Galaflex Mesh into your procedure.
The revolution in breast surgery is here, and it’s called Galaflex Mesh.
